I dont think Eklund is no 1, he's lost 2 of his last 3 fight's. I think there's 3-4 people below who'd beat him. It also does my head in the way Rob Broughton's always overlooked, he's just smashed the Japanese no1 heavyweight, thought that would have earned his abit of recognition.

I still think Eklund and Baron will give a lot of European Lightweights nightmares.

As for Big Rob....he's fighting again next Friday and when people see that fight and his fight from Japan on HdNet in the States, they will stand-up and take notice.

Overeem has only had 2 fights in Europe in 2 years, and has had 1 in the states and 4 in Japan in the same period... how does that count then? Surely he's 'based' in Japan based on those stats? Not that I want to make too many complications of course

The mind of the believer stagnates. It fails to grow outward into an unlimited, infinite universe.
